Gazbillionaire Oprah Winfrey is at the top of Parade Magazine’s list of 2007’s most generous celebrities. She donated a whopping $50.2M to charities last year.
A lot of money that celebs donate to charity goes to their own foundations to support their own pet projects, and Oprah is no exception - much of that went to the Oprah’s Angel Network and the Oprah Winfrey Foundation.
Who else gave away their millions? Read on:
2. Bandleader Herb Alpert, 73 years old, gave $13M, some to his own music charity.
3. Barbra Streisand donated $11M to “causes concerned with improving the environment, women’s issues, civil rights and AIDS research.”
4. Paul Newman gave back to his alma mater, Kenyon College, to the tune of $10M.
5. Mel Gibson gave away $9.9M to (what else) his Holy Family Church in Malibu, CA,
6. Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie gave $8.4 million “to benefit New Orleans reconstruction, refugee aid and cross-cultural understanding.”
7. Is a three-way tie among three athletes. Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, and hockey star Eric Lindros each gave $5M to a variety of causes.
The list was generated using public records of donations given during 2007.
